I used to rule the worldSeas would rise when I gave the wordNow in the morning I sleep aloneSweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the diceFeel the fear in my enemies eyesListen as the crowd would sing:“Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”

One minute I held the keyNext the walls were closed on meAnd I discovered that my castles standUpon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringingRoman Cavalry choirs are singingBe my mirror my sword and shieldMy missionaries in a foreign fieldFor some reason I can’t explainOnce you know there was never, never an honest wordThat was when I ruled the world(Ohhh)

It was the wicked and wild windBlew down the doors to let me in.Shattered windows and the sound of drumsPeople could not believe what I’d becomeRevolutionaries waitFor my head on a silver plateJust a puppet on a lonely stringOh who would ever wanna be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringingRoman Cavalry choirs are singingBe my mirror my sword and shieldMy missionaries in a foreign fieldFor some reason I can’t explainI know Saint Peter won’t call my nameNever an honest wordAnd that was when I ruled the world(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

Tell me more, tell me more,Was it love at first sight?Tell me more, tell me more,Did she put up a fight?Took her bowlin’ in the ArcadeWe went strollin’, drank lemonadeWe made out under the dockwe stayed up until ten o’clock
